How to support IOS6 and IOS7 app icons and launch images in the same app?

I have noted IOS7 has new Icon sizes pere here, however it's not clear to me how you would best ensure IOS 6 and IOS 7 devices are supported? So how would you do this, e.g.

a) have to put both IOS6 and IOS7 app icon & launch images in?
b) or just put IOS7 icons/launch images in and IOS6 devices will handle this ok?

NOTE: I'm using Corona SDK as my dev platform (not XCode / ObjectiveC)

    Have you read the [iOS Design Resources](https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/design/index.html) document? There's a whole table covering this. – rmaddy Sep 10 '13 at 23:44
  • ok - see the app icons sizes were listed under Human Interface Guidelines (https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/IconMatrix.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH27-SW1) & that they are different. Can't find however any clarification in terms of if you want to support IOS6 & IOS7 how this works? i.e. do I need to bundle two sets of icon sizes for IOS6 and IOS7 so my app will work on both? – Greg Sep 10 '13 at 23:57

    Have you looked at the "General" tab for your app's target in Xcode 5? The answer will be clear. – rmaddy Sep 10 '13 at 23:58
  • I'm not using xCode/objectiveC - my development platform is corona sdk – Greg Sep 11 '13 at 00:08
  • I'll try to run up Xcode and look for what you're referring to – Greg Sep 11 '13 at 00:09
  • It may help if you update your question and/or tags to reflect that you are using the Corona SDK. – rmaddy Sep 11 '13 at 00:09
  • done - have updated tags/text - downloading the xcode seek now - 1.9GB :( Keen to find out the answer so I know what I should doing with my first app I have just finished. i.e. deploy within a week as is, or try to update with IOS7 icons/launch images etc – Greg Sep 11 '13 at 00:13
  • hi @rmaddy - updated the question to be more specific - hopefully this will help – Greg Sep 11 '13 at 00:19
